Day 4. A Down Day

The only storms today looked to be well over 6 hours from where we were, so we decided just to have a down day and to head toward our target location for tomorrow, Salina, Kansas. So after cleaning up massive amounts of dog shit (the dogs picked yesterday to get sick), we got on the road. We stopped at the Pony Express Museum for a bit and then started heading south through the Flint Hills of Kansas.

We stopped at a rest stop and took a short hike. It was beautiful. I tried to take some portraits of porthos, but he never stops moving, so this is the best that I came up with.


At the rest stop, we met a woman with a 10 week old full blood wolf puppy. The thing was cute as can be, but it made me so sad.


We ended the day by checking into an America's Best Value Inn. It has suspicious stains on the box spring and the bathroom wall. I'm trying not to think about it too much.

    Wow, Porthos is starting to no longer look like a Leo puppy. The red on the top of the head is starting to come in.

    That dog does not look like a full blooded wolf. His ears are too big. The pup looks part husky, or something. No way those are wolf ears. I think the woman was lying to you. Even so, it is very sad.
